"Ah! Help, I can't turn around, who will help me down!"
Just as Roland was thinking about how to make better use of the power of the Rubik's Cube, a familiar scream suddenly sounded in the courtyard. He raised his head subconsciously, and saw that the car did not go around the courtyard road, but rushed into the flowerbed in the center. Sitting in the car was Mystery Moon after replacing Sylvie.
"This, this idiot!" Lily gritted her teeth, "Hurry up and hit the brakes!"
"I stepped on it... but I can't step on it!" Miyue yelled in a panic.
The out-of-control steam car swerved left and right in the flowerbed, and when it rushed out of the flowerbed, it hit the castle gate.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Wendy's face changed greatly.
The crowd suddenly jumped.
Let me go, Roland was stunned as he stared at Miyue who was holding the steering wheel with his eyes closed. Can a car without an accelerator have this effect? Is this a female driver from another world
To his surprise, none of the surrounding witches dispersed, but all stood in front of him. In an instant, all kinds of abilities swarmed out of Anna's black fire wall, Lian's gully separated him and the courtyard as a blocking barrier; Efi's magic cage and Andrea's arrow of light were Aiming at the wheel and ready to go, Nightingale also grabbed his arm, ready to drag him into the fog at any time.
In the end, it was Phyllis and Lorgar who won the car accident purely by force.
They stopped in front of everyone for the first time, grabbed the car's crash bar, and lifted its front wheels off the ground.
Anna manipulated the black fire to close the ritual cube.
The steam engine that lost pressure quickly died down.
"Ah, everyone, run!" Miyue shouted loudly, still holding the steering wheel tightly.
"You big fool!" Lily jumped over the gully, climbed into the car, slapped Miyue on the back of the head, and slapped her cry into her stomach.
The latter opened his eyes, covered his head and looked innocent.
"Mystery Moon!"
Seeing Wendy and Scroll surrounded by aggression, Miyue only reacted, "I'm sorry, I was wrong." However, it was too late to apologize at this moment, and before the head of the detective team could defend himself, they were dragged directly into the castle by the two of them.
"Every time I get into trouble, you are there!"
"This week's vacation, cancel!"
"Copy the rules of the Witch League a hundred times!"
"There are still five sets of exercises, and you will be ready to eat after you finish!"
It was not until Mystery Moon's wailing disappeared in the castle that the witches shivered with empathy, of course, not including Her Royal Highness.
"I checked the car, and there are no problems with the steering and braking mechanism." Anna had already completed the inspection and returned to Roland. "Mystery Moon deviates from the road for one reason."
"What is it?"
"She's too weak." Anna said helplessly.
Roland couldn't help laughing out loud, because he had little strength and couldn't get enough direction, which finally led to "eat a pear"... It seems that before the steering and brake booster were installed, the strength was less than or equal to a mystery month You can only refuse to participate in the test drive.
The messy courtyard was quickly repaired by Lian and Anna. Looking at the witches who were staring at him, Roland shook his head amusingly, "If you still want to open, just find Anna as long as she agrees. I don't have any opinion, just be careful not to tear down the castle. By the way, one more thing, don't forget to come back for lunch."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Please let me get on the bus first!"
"Hey, obviously I came first!"
The courtyard was once again covered by everyone's laughter.
*****************
"Sir, here we are."
The carriage slowly stopped in front of a tavern. Victor Lothar got out of the carriage, threw the two silver wolves to the driver, and then walked into the tavern.
"You're here, Mr. Victor!" Soon a pretty woman in a close-fitting white robe trotted over and enthusiastically took the luggage from him, "Your room owner has been prepared, please come with me."
It was still the largest compartment on the top floor, and everything in the room remained the same as when he left, including incense, wine, and the maid's brass bell specially serving him.
Victor nodded with satisfaction. This is the power of money. Although it cannot reverse life and death, it has the magic power to freeze time.
"It took a long time for you to leave this time." Tong Ling quickly opened the curtains, fixed the window, and filled him with hot tea, "The boss guesses whether you were robbed or not when you were out at sea. After the shipwreck, he will never come back. He has to check the golden dragon you left behind in the account every day to see how long you can pay the rent. Neverwinter's contract law, the dilemma is really laughable."
Looking at the lively maid, Victor felt that the fatigue accumulated from the long journey had dissipated a bit, "Aren't you afraid that he will know about this?"
Tong Ling stuck out his tongue, "Unless you tell him secretly. By the way, where have you been these days? Are you busy with big business?"
"Forget it," Victor took a sip of his lipstick tea, "I've basically stayed in the South for the past six months."
"Hey, is it the southern border?" Tong Ling tilted her head and said, "There aren't many gems there, right?"
"There's a gem anywhere, as long as you know how to find it." He shrugged. "For example, in the South, gems grow on branches."
"Sir, you are teasing me again." The maid pouted.
Victor smiled. He knew that the other party would not believe it. In fact, he couldn't believe it even before he saw it with his own eyes, that a cotton field could be more beautiful than a gem. The seeds cultivated by Miss Ye Zi can be described as incredible. After the shrub grows, the cotton that blooms from the flowers and fruits is big and soft, as white as snow. Compared with the thin cotton buds in his memory, it is almost like is the same crop.
During the planting period, he was not idle either. Assembled a team of tailors from his hometown, recruited people to build a factory in Bishui Port, contacted people to prepare a business road, and got busy as soon as the cotton fields were harvested. After that, things went better than he had imagined, and the new cotton quickly overwhelmed other similar goods with its high quality and approachable price when it hit the market. From quilts to cotton-padded clothes, every product has achieved impressive sales in various cities.
Of course, Victor didn't forget the competition that His Majesty said. When other merchants also buy Miss Ye Ye's cotton seeds from Neverwinter, this part of the market will definitely be squeezed. Therefore, on top of simple cotton fabrics, he also prepared a series of high-end products, mainly complete sets of clothing. From design, materials to tailoring, he followed the route of excellence, and embroidered the cuffs and collars of each garment. Unique five-color gemstone logo, to show their difference.
This kind of clothing with the style of the upper class was quickly recognized by some people, and gradually got a special nickname, rainbow stone.
In addition, he did not give up those low-priced items, whether it was a quilt or a robe, they were all marked with the same mark. The only difference was that the thread used for the mark was a single color.
Victor vaguely felt that if he did this, even if the prices of other merchants were lower than him, some people would still choose ordinary clothes embroidered with the rainbow stone logo, just like when selling jewelry in the past, nobles would give priority to Choose the same as the works of famous sculptors.
"How long will you stay this time?" Seeing that he didn't continue, Tong Ling changed the subject.
"About three or four days, there are still many things to do on the southern side." Victor replied.
"Are you leaving so soon?" The maid's voice was a little lower.
He immediately understood the other party's thoughts. If she didn't renew the room this time, she would have to serve other guests. Compared with getting paid for taking care of the room every day, the latter was obviously much more troublesome. Victor didn't think it was a big deal, but instead of changing someone, he thought it would be better to continue to let the copper bell serve.
Before you get tired of it.
"Don't worry, I will pay enough to return to the Golden Dragon before Neverwinter next time."
"Really?" Tong Ling's eyes lit up.
"It's not a huge expense," Victor stood up and flicked a golden dragon into her hand, "This is the expense during this stay, and now I'm going to the Executive Office, you lead the way. ."
